    The crocop win is the best out of the 3 and i believed is his best win in his career. Crocop at the time looks unstoppable knocking out his opponents then big nog submitted him and it made crocop better.

    After that fight he worked on his jiujitsu more and submission defense. The couture win was pretty good but both were past it. Sapp nyeee:lol:

    Sapp was feared back then,Cro Cop took his heart out,since that fight he got really scared.
    I know its not respectfull but everytime I rewatch that fight I cannot help but think of Sapp saying this:

    The most interesting thing is him saying Fedor ducked Sapp then Cro Cop.

    He said Fedor ducked Cro Cop, and that was why Pride created an interim title fight.

    Well Sapp got in the ring after one of Fedor fights or at the end of a pride show,dont remember straight which one,but yes at that time there were rumors of Fedor ducking people mainly Cro Cop and Sapp,Sapp was feared and respected as a fighter back then,some people thought that ending up on top of Fedor was the best way to beat him so Sapp was given a chance by some people, including me,I still remember.
